Hasbro, the maker of the CandyLand board game sued the company to obtain an injunction.

The company that registered the domain was the Internet Entertainment Group (IEG) that placed sexually explicit material at the domain.

Hasbro claimed that the use of the domain name candyland.com was an infringement of their Candy Land game trademark, asserting that the public associated the name with fun and wholesomeness.

IEG obtained the domain adultplayground.com and Hasbro now has candyland.com
